There are only two groups of people that this special kind of 'race' from any point in the house to the nearest bathroom applies too: those who are incontinent and those who are Learning to Be Continent.
The subject of this little post is concerning the latter, my sweet (almost) 3 yr. old daughter Shayla. She is a wee bit late on the typical potty training schedule, so we decided to raise the ante a little bit within the domestic bounds of the house by putting her in panties while we are at home instead of pull-ups. Pull-ups seem to assist in this process of development somewhat, however when you have the freedom to just 'let 'er rip' no matter where you are with little to no discomfort why try to hold it? I mean after all you have this comfy safety net of sorts.
So far so good. :) She has been downright surprised if not insulted by the results of this panty/pull-up switcheroo. I have to admit that the look of shock is Very comical indeed. We think it sha'n't be long before we see dramatic results now. :) Yeah, it takes a little more monitoring on our part, but that's okay. Who's to say more of us wouldn't still be in diapers were it not for a little proactive socialization on the part of our parents. :) Cheers!

I used to be a person that never, I mean never got headaches. I now understand what they are as well as understanding the placement of all those over-the-counter headache remedies in TV ads!! Ahh, one of the target audiences was parents with small children! Yes, of course. :) (Humor here, I'm smiling; you should be.)
This is my new and current nemesis supplied very cordially by my practically 3 yr. old daughter Shayla, God bless 'er. :

At this point she likes to toot a mononote melody to any and all things at any time, especially if there's anything going on that requires mommy and daddy's auditory attentiveness. :)
Mommy and I are learning so much, so fast about ourselves and life that we're just trying to keep up. We consider our daughter the blessing of blessings, and cherish her as we learn from her while teaching her also. Our sense of humor has expanded 10 fold as necessity is the mother of expansion (in this case).
Thank you Shayla for keeping us light and limber in Spirit.
Thank you for coming to help us in this Journey of the Discovery of Love.

Shayla got this for Christmas last year and we just got around to setting it up here recently. We were kind of concerned that once she started playing with this that she would become obsessed with 'being on the computer' all the time. As it turns out, it's quite comprehensive in it's educational scope and it actually turns out to be perfect right about now with lots of cognitive room 'to grow on'! Thanks Mom and Risa! Perfect!
